Rollercoaster Rider 0 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I think it needs a woodie two years after opening in 2019. Does Zamperla make Wooden Coasters? Maybe they could build a Mine Train like Tren Bravo at Terra Mitica (Hybrid Structure) https://rcdb.com/1082.htm#p=1272 Tried to add a picture of #1, Can someone try to fix it for me.

True, but on a different level entirely. Hopefully, this park does great and everyone will have a fun time! Link to post Share on other sites
AJK 0 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Does Zamperla make Wooden Coasters? Maybe they could build a Mine Train like Tren Bravo at Terra Mitica (Hybrid Structure) They do the maintenance for Cyclone @ Coney Island (considering they run every ride at that park), which may mean they could at some point.

RollerManic 0 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I'm pretty sure the missing coaster is the red SLC I thought saw in the video. But carry on. Link to post Share on other sites

EliHorton 0 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I absolutely love this! Although I've heard Thunderbolt isn't the *best* coaster, I'm sure Zamperla has done some tinkering with the restraints, wheel assembly, and their track bending techniques. Plus it looks to have a pretty solid flat line up! A Vertical Swing, Endeavor, Midi Discovery Revolution, Air Race, Disco Coaster, Wave Swinger, Windstar. Plus their Wild Mouse coasters are fun! Can't wait to visit! Link to post Share on other sites
flagrockerthegreat 0 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Eh, i saw 3 more rides put up but the rolling thunder supports are still laid out and i haven't seen a piece of track near it. Link to post Share on other sites
EliHorton 0 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Eh, i saw 3 more rides put up but the rolling thunder supports are still laid out and i haven't seen a piece of track near it. Probably haven't come yet. To be honest Zamperla probably tossed a bunch of random pieces for different rides in a shipping container then sent it. I think Rollin' Thunder, the Wild Mouse, and the kiddie coasters will be some of the last rides to be assembled. Link to post Share on other sites
flagrockerthegreat 0 Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Some of you have heard about the new amusement park coming to Foley Alabama opening this summer. It's supposed to have three thrill rides including one major roller coaster which if I remember correctly will be the longest in the southeast. Anyway I have seen the artist rendition and it looks great. I only live 30 minutes from there so will be keeping up with the construction. It doesn't hurt that we have friends who live a block away so I have told her to give me routine updates. "30" i live 10 minutes from there and it's right across from the mall!

Hilltopper39 15 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I'm really kinda looking forward to this project. Not just because of the coasters and the park involved but this area of the country is one that a lot of people maybe haven't been to or think of when it comes to beach vacation destinations but the whole west side of the Florida pan handle/Alabama coast is really a pretty nice area. Gives me an excuse to go back again for a long weekend sometime. Link to post Share on other sites
The Geek Mojo 0 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I keep hearing people say they didn't like Thunderbolt at Luna Park but I thought it was a great ride. The restraints were a little funky but it didn't bother me. I would have rode it more than once if it didn't cost $10 a ride. I look forward to this clone cause I'm hoping I can get multiple rides on it without having to spend a fortune. Link to post Share on other sites

All that matters is if it'll be a good ride or not. just depending on the restraints, (hoping there comftorable) i'm going on opening day. Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I found the whining about Thunderbolt to be overblown. We rode it in September and really enjoyed it. We didn't find it rough at all. Not at all. Once you learn how to ride Thunderbolt it actually has a really intense and unique layout. After that funky turnaround the airtime hills provide crazy ejector air. Link to post Share on other sites

Rill'o'beily 0 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Yay All joking aside though, a new credit is always a good thing, even if it's a zamperla torture machine at least the locals will get hyped about it. Link to post Share on other sites

I heard mixed reviews about Thunderbolt at Luna Park. I've never rode it, but I'm sure Rollin Thunder will give me an idea of what to expect. I hope it's a great! Link to post Share on other sites
